Handcrafted Journal

Posted in Art Journalling by Chris

Today I am sharing something I have been working on over the past few days, my very first handcrafted Journal.

I have rather a lot of retired Designer Series Paper – I have a bit of a DSP addiction!! I love it all, and I do use it on my cards and other projects but invariably, there seems to be plenty left over.

So my Journal uses all retired Stampin’ Up!items other than some photocopy paper which I have combined with DSP for the pages, and the Muesli Bar box which was upcycled to form the cover of the Journal.

Each page is different, some are stamped, some have hand cut birds, most are sponged, spritzed and splattered. I had a lot of fun!!

And all the pages are properly bound into the cover.

I absolutely loved making this project and I can see a lot more of them happening in the future, incorporating some mixed media techniques as well .

I think I’ll start on the Jatz box tomorrow!!

Happy stamping, sponging, spritzing and splattering!!

Happy Christmas!!

Posted in Bags by Chris

Just a quick post to share with you a cute little gift bag that I made last week to put some gifts into. These are pretty easy to make and just use one sheet of Designer Series Paper.

I have used the Whimsy and Wonder Designer Series Paper with it’s pretty colours and designs. And the one below features the Sweet Stockings DSP.

I hope you are having a wonderful, blessed day and enjoying time with family and friends.
Happy Christmas!

iPhone Covers

Posted in 3D by Chris

Today I am going to share with you my iPhone!
I have bought a clear silicone cover for my phone and then made an insert to go inside it. This one uses the new Betsy’s Blossom stamp set and some of the the new In Colours, which you can order on the 1st Sept. I plan to make a few different ones of these so that I can change them whenever I want a different look.
